sweet dreams

it is easy to forget how wonderful little things are. i find that i get caught up in the small annoyances of the everyday and i forget to notice the things that, when i really think about it, i know i will miss when they are gone. like putting gabe to bed at night. there is something so sweet about laying your child down in their bed, singing a short song, praying a prayer, wishing him sweet dreams, and watching him drift sleepily away. sometimes i forget how blessed i am.
